You realize that you can do this through the 'host or exit' screen between turns? - that is, if I am understanding you right. That's the main reason why I am in favour of keeping the 'host' thing in there in SP, because you can play half a turn, exit to the main menu, play some of a different game, etc. In Dom I you had to quit the program, which was a bit of a pain.

I'm not sure what you mean there, but if I'm playing the game and I hit escape, you can:
"Save Game and Quit"
"Quit Without Saving"

These both kill Dominions II and boot you back to the OS.

But usually, I want to go back to the main menu, without closing and restarting Dominions. DomI was like this too. So I'd want a:
"Save and Return to Main Menu" option, on the menu that appears when you hit 'esc', that takes you out of the game, but does not kill the program.

Or they could just add a save command..just a save command...like every other game has...(cept a few adventure ones heh)

I'm talking about the 'end turn' button, which then brings you to a screen where you can choose 'exit' which takes you to the main screen. The nice thing is that you can go back and redo your turn, or pick up where you left off, so you don't have to finish your turn before doing this.

[licker]

I believe he means that when you press 'e' to end turn you have the option to 'host' or to 'exit to menu' or go back to your turn.

Its a different menu than the 'esc' menu.


-edit... not quite fast enough I see
